I... [trails off, hmms a little] I really have no idea where I am.

I can't go up. There's just sky. Am I supposed to climb a mountain or something? That's crazy. But...

Maybe I should just go back to that forest.

[long bout of silence]

...Which direction was that in...

[a gasp of panic]

Is that a hyena?!

[and then the sound of digging and burrowing]

You're the confusing one! How am I supposed to know if you don't even know?!

[An open plain? Great. He'll just fly up and get a nice clear view of the entire - oh, wait. MEERKATS CAN'T FLY SO THIS ISN'T ALL THAT HELPFUL.]

Give me somethin' else! Anything.

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

I'm sure I was right the first time!

[a deep breath, and then some more digging... probably safe now]

I don't know! I don't think I was too far from that forest. That was unlike anything I've seen before! Oh, it was beautiful, Timon! [yeah. what was the topic again?]

[Voice]

[cowardly_hero]

. . .

THE HYENA, MA?

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

What? [she sounds very confused] What hyena -? Oh, no, I think that's gone now. I don't think it was actually a hyena, Timon.

[circular conversations, it's what's for dinner.]

What is wrong with this family?!

Timon.

[voice] 2/2

[meerkatmama]

I'm lost and have no idea where I am or where to go! Now is not the time! [for your existential genetic crisis]

[Voice]

[cowardly_hero]

Then it's probably not a good time to tell you I don't know where I am either... Is it?

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

[now would be a good time for a facepalm, wouldn't it.]

YOU'RE LOST?

TIMON! How could you get lost!?

[what a hypocrite, right?]

[Voice] 1/2

[cowardly_hero]

How could YOU get lost?!

[Voice] 2/2

[cowardly_hero]

Ugh, I should never have listened to that troublesome pixie. 'Explore other worlds. It'll be fun!' What was I thinking?!

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

[siiiiiiigh. okay. breathe. relax.]

What were you thinking? You could've gotten hurt - [hey, aren't you impressed? she actually stops herself] ...Well, you were looking for your place, right? That's as good as a reason as any to explore...

[even if she still kinda sorta doesn't like it]

[cowardly_hero]

My place. Our place. Any place.

What I found here was a place beyond my wildest dreams. But... it meant nothing without you, without my friends.

My place is with-

[Voice] 2/3

[cowardly_hero]

SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

[Voice] 3/3

[cowardly_hero]

... Just a branch.

Heh heh.

[Voice] 1/3

[meerkatmama]

YOUR PLACE IS WITH WHAT?

WHAT?

[Voice] 2/4 I lied

[meerkatmama]

[oh come on she was on the edge of her metaphoric seat! which in this case would be the opening of her tunnel.

but snakes! OH GOD. HER BABY. DON'T GET BIT. THE POISON COULD KILL YOU. DON'T DIE HONEY, MOMMA'S GONNA COME FIND YOU -]

[Voice] 3/4

[meerkatmama]

A branch.

[she was worried. you're such a terrible son, giving your mother this heart attack!]

A branch.

[Voice] 4/4

[meerkatmama]

[SIGH.]

At least you're okay.

[Voice]

[cowardly_hero]

You too.

You, uh, wouldn't happen to remember how you got to Maraca, would you?

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

I took a ride in a stranger's pocket.

[they neeeever suspected a thing]

[Voice]

[cowardly_hero]

[Not sure if he's surprised or impressed by this...]

Their pocket? I always went for the head. They don't like it when you ride on their heads for some reason.

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

So why did for go for their head then, Timon? [if they didn't like it then - oh for the love of...]

[Voice]

[cowardly_hero]

It's the highest point! [And makes him taller than everyone else, duh!]
